Million Dollar Stud

Bored with his million-dollar lifestyle, Richard Darcy Kristof accepts a dare: live for one month with strangers and without his name or his fortune. He's up for the challenge. Calling himself Darcy, he gets a job managing a horse farm. But nothing has prepared him for the challenge of the boss's gorgeous daughter—Silver Braybourne. Silver's future is riding on one horse and its ability to win. She's not about to let anything stand in her way, least of all a new manager who's too arrogant, too sexy for his own good…and hers. If she gives in to the temptation of Darcy, she can again focus on her future. Too bad once isn't enough.…

Every year, on Valentine's Day, the great Thoroughbred farms open their breeding sheds and begin their primary business. For the next one hundred and fifty days, the cries of stallions and the vigorous encouragement of their handlers echo through breeding country, from the gentle hills of Kentucky to the rich valleys of California. Stud takes us into this strange and seductive world of horse breeding. We meet the world's leading sire, Storm Cat, the Triple Crown winner, Seattle Slew, and a nearly unmanageable colt, Devil Begone, who has found peace and prosperity on the banks of the Rio Grande servicing desert mares like Patty O'Furniture. Cheap stud, top stud, old stud, wild stud, from the Hall of Fame horse to the harem stallion with his feral herd, Stud looks at intimate acts in idyllic settings and the billion-dollar business behind them.

Stud's Ink is book 2 of the Cobra Kings MC trilogy. Book 3, Stud's Bride, is available everywhere now! They said I couldn't have her. I told them to try and stop me. The bad boy stud has wandered into dangerous territory. MC President Bishop Blaine thought bedding a pop star would be the story of a lifetime. He gets what he came for, and then some… When the diva ends up pregnant with his baby. LOLA I thought outlaw bikers were supposed to be tall, dark, tatted—and dumb as rocks. But Bishop Blaine is only three for four. And unfortunately for my sake, he's managed to outsmart every member of my security team to get to me. It's true: he's got his own selfish motives in mind. Like laying his sinful, inked hands over every inch of my body. But it turns out Bishop got to me just in time. First, we're ducking a spray of bullets. Then, next thing I know, he has me out back behind the bar… Pinned to the wall beneath him, as he lets far more than his eyes travel my forbidden figure. BISHOP Lola is famous. Off-limits. Totally uninterested in a rebel biker like me. Until I make things interesting for her. Granted, I've had help. Someone's out to kill her, and I smell a rat in her inner circle. She can't trust those who are already closest to her, so I plan on making myself as close as possible. I'm gonna run my filthy hands along those lush curves until I make the little pop starlet shiver and beg for more. But I should've known it would all lead to trouble. As I discover, it isn't just a killer we have on our plate. Because Lola turns up pregnant – and she swears the baby is mine. This was never supposed to happen. I'm an outlaw with a motorcycle club to run, not a whipped baby daddy to a famous actress. Until, all of the sudden, that's exactly what I am. But we're from two different worlds. She walks red carpets and wears expensive gowns. I ride choppers and keep my club kutte on my shoulders at all times. Having a baby together is sheer madness. But despite all that… There's something in my gut that says I have to protect these delicate creatures now – my woman and my baby. I'm going to catch this falling star and make her mine. And if the man hunting her thinks he's gonna lay a finger on my family... He'd better be ready for war.

Gay bars have been closing by the hundreds. The story goes that increasing mainstream acceptance of LGBTQ+ people, plus dating apps like Grindr and Tinder, have rendered these spaces obsolete. Beyond that, rampant gentrification in big cities has pushed gay bars out of the neighborhoods they helped make hip. Who Needs Gay Bars? considers these narratives, accepting that the answer for some might be: maybe nobody. And yet... Jarred by the closing of his favorite local watering hole in Cleveland, Ohio, Greggor Mattson embarks on a journey across the country to paint a much more complex picture of the cultural significance of these spaces, inside "big four" gay cities, but also beyond them. No longer the only places for their patrons to socialize openly, Mattson finds in them instead a continuously evolving symbol; a physical place for feeling and challenging the beating pulse of sexual progress. From the historical archives of Seattle's Garden of Allah, to the outpost bars in Texas, Missouri or Florida that serve as community hubs for queer youth—these are places of celebration, where the next drag superstar from Alaska or Oklahoma may be discovered. They are also fraught grounds for confronting the racial and gender politics within and without the LGBTQ+ community. The question that frames this story is not asking whether these spaces are needed, but for whom, earnestly exploring the diversity of folks and purposes they serve today. Loosely informed by the Damron Guide, the so-called "Green Book" of gay travel, Mattson logged 10,000 miles on the road to all corners of the United States. His destinations are sometimes thriving, sometimes struggling, but all offering intimate views of the wide range of gay experience in America: POC, white, trans, cis; past, present, and future.
